Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have just chopped my wagon and want to make a long range tank for it, I haven't made a fuel tank before but understand how baffles and that work, I am just unsure on the material thinkness. thanks

Ive got a 93 GQ patrol TB42 auto, the radiator is shot and i have a good manual one out of my other truck, i am thinking of running the manual rad in the auto and just running a trans cooler. question is good or bad idea and how big should the cooler be. the truck will be used as a dailey driver it ...

i had overheating isues with my tb42 and the viscus cluch fan was stuffed so i put a new one on and about three months later did a head gasket. thought i should take it to a mechanic, and he told me the cluck fan was stuffed. as the story goes (apparently) it is much better to put more fluid in them...

bide your time and get a 4.2 diesel you might need to spend a little more but it will be well worth it. stock 4.2 wagons come up every now and again but do go really quick

ok still havent got a hilux, i am looking at the surfs about a 94 2.4 turbo diesel are they a good thing or not?

i have got hid spotties and the glare from road signs is realy bad i would defentely not hid your standard lights

i have got a after market speco temp gage in mine because the standard gage sat half way no matter the conditions now you can the rise and fall of the temp. good luck

ok i have a gq patrol on roids that is under going a bit of a freshen up at the moment and i am looking at geting a hilux as a daily driver. i want a 2.8 diesel duelcab about a 93 but my problem is i dont know f&^% all about them. questions how much $$$, fuel economoy, reliability, how do they h...

ok i am putting a td42 in my tb42 wagon. i have got a engine (silver top) and most of the bits but the bottom end needs to be rebuilt could anybody put me on to a good diesel mechanic preferably in vic. i am going to be runing about 18lbs of boost what other things would be worth doing while it is a...

ok i have got a tb42 patrol and want to change it to a td42. what i want to know is what i need to do the transplant i already know i need a bell housing, fueltank, lines ect but any help with the finer things would be great. i have a complete engine available to me and wiringloom from the diesel. t...

ive got a two inch spring and 2inch body in my wagon running 36peeds i kept the standard rear and threw the front away and i am happy in the way it drives both off and on road. the best thing is it dosent cost anything it took about 15mins. oh and beed locks good luck

i was going to do a v8 conversion on mine and was able to get lucky anough to drive a few first i would not go with the 5ltr for all the work involved it was just not worth it in my eyes. i have decided to go turbo diesel but if i was to go v8 i would deffently go ls. All the best wich ever way you ...

i think you are a fool if you pass this up. ive got 36/12.5r15 and they are unstopable on 7 psi and locked. mine are about 70% i think i have got prietty good milage out of them concidering what they are tires $550ea and the rims and beeds $900 me welding them myself. oh and they dont like stoping i...

i had the same problem with my tb42 it was a stuffed head gascket which in turn cracked the head. i did a presure test and had a couple of machanics look at it. my money is on head. sorry

snakeracing sell the steering arms for the conversion there about $300 from memory did mine about 6 months ago

i put 92-94 honda prelude seats in the front they were not the easiest to install but not to bad. they are not a realy good seat to sit in on the highway all day but as soon as you hit the scrub they are great they were about 200 for the pair from memory

i got 4.6 put in my gq about two weeks aga i am running 36 peds it is awsom it pulls like it has 31s

i learent the hard way buy the genuine not an after market there is alot of diffrence in the price but a new head if Fing expensive

i wemt the same situation and the easiest and by far the cheapest option was rebuilding to run boost. thats my opinion tho

they have locktight from factory and need a little heat before undoing them. just the 2 rear ones

i put a boddy lift im my 89 wagon about 12 months ago and havent looked back. it took me and a mate about 8 hours to install but we f@#$ed around a bit. all i had to do appart from the ovious was pull the steel brake lines on the drivers side of the tunel becouse when it stretches it hits it. get a ...

i am in the process of pulling the aircon out of my tb42 GQ. the question is do i need to run the idler puley that is used to tension the belt or can it all be pulled of. thanks

my cluch fan has died and the price of a new one is a bit out there. would it be possible to get rid of it and install el thermo fans instead. cheers thanks for your time

i think i will have to go turbo. on the weekend the car got hot traveling at 100 so i pulled over and basically it was pushing water out of the radiator overflow bottel instiead of recirculating it so i waited for it to cool and drove it the short distance home and took it to the mechanic on monday....

thanks for the feedback. i drove a 5.o v8 yesterday that belongs to a mates mate and i realy liked the feel of the instiet power but i will defentely look in to both. and would a v8 out of a vn commodore be a good option and should it be under 10 grand. thanks again guys

i want more power out of my 4.2 carby engine i dont know weather is worth going to a v8 or bolting on a turbo. i am not a machanic so i am looking at getting some body to do the whole job. any thoughts on engine or a good machanic around the melbourne area would be great. 200hp at the wheels would b...

i would save the exter $2000 and buy a 4.2
